【Review】

Quartz sand purification is removal of a small amount of impurities and the high difficulty separation technique to obtain refined quartz sand or high purity quartz sand. The purification technologies of quartz sand at home and abroad are washing, classifying & desliming, scrubbing, magnetic separation, flotation, acid leaching, microbial leaching, etc.

【Application】

Quartz Sand Dressing Production Line is suitable for quartz sand containing iron or mica.

[Introduction ]

Washing and classifying desliming

The SiO2 grade in quartz sand decreases by quartz sand size becoming finer, so washing and desliming of crude quartz sand is necessary before next step.

Scrubbing

Scrubbing is the way to remove film iron and impurity minerals on the surface of quartz by mechanical force and crush these mineral aggregate. The quartz sand gets further purification by classification. There are two kinds of methods rob scrubbing and mechanical scrubbing.

Flotation

It is difficult to separate quartz and mica. Negative ion used in negative-positive acid or alkali ion. After cleaning, deslamar, magnetic separation and flotation, the purity can reach 99%.

Acid Leaching

Dilute acid had a significant effect on removing iron and aluminum, and concentrated acid for the removal of titanium and chromium, and mixed acid for mineral impurity. Control various factors of acid leaching should be based on quartz final grade requirements, and as far as possible reduce the acid concentration, temperature and dosage to achieve quartz purification.
